the rugby world cup begins tomorrow!

first game is france vs argentina.

i'm giving this one to france by a fairly wide margin (2+ tries), despite argentina being a top rank team and having perhaps the world's best full back (hernandez). however, i can't see france losing this unless they make some horrific mistakes.

sadly, this NO adverts (at all..) event is being broadcast by any cable channel in the united states.

if america isn't any good at something, and they can't sell you something, then it doesn't exist in its media. how many americans even know their country is playing in the world's second largest world cup competition on saturday?

england's first match is against usa...

so to watch as many games as possible, i'm doing what i did for the six nations and buying a package to watch it live on the computer:
